    Returning From PA

    Hello all.

    I used to be on here but I think my account got deleted. I'm from Chambersburg, PA. I have an 81 850GL. Unfortnantley she has been sitting for the last couple years and I'm just now getting around to getting her going again. Currently have rebult carbs, cleaned tank, and fluid change. Got it to fire up today but had a gas leak from the carbs. Off to find new o-rings for the needle seats. Also soon to do is valve adjustment.

      Welcome back.
      Yah, login expires if no activity in a few months.

      For carb o-rings look no further than Cycle O-Rings. A fine GSR member doing us all a fine service for a very reasonable price.

            Got some o rings locally from a shop. Carbs no longer leak. However it has a nasty leak from the cylinder base gasket. Currently in the middle of a top end rebuild. Almost finished removing all the old gaskets. The old cylinder base gasket is a PITA to get off!
